    You would still need to cut away the top of the sleeves to expose the top of the track for the shark fins.


    Hau, if you will supply the CF tube and pay for a stick of G10, I'll assemble and machine it for you. I know that the G10 is not tecnically carbon fiber, but I think it will accomplish what you want, with fewer avenues for things to go wrong.


    I might even know where I can get a piece of black G10, but I will have to double check the size.

  • hola a todos en especial a los de puerto rico

    You guys really shouldn't make fun of me. It's a sickness, I tell you . . . <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    . . . and graphite is the noble one, aluminum the active, and stainless in between. :rolleyes:






    So, about the laser . . .

  • Lost Wax concept gun

    It fires cleanly about 1/8" before the trigger hits the frame. I may grind off a little more, just to be safe, but it seems to work fine as it is now. I checked that by making a plywood model of the trigger frame to adjust the dimensions slightly before I cut it out of aluminum.

    I don't remember when it occurred to me. I was just kicking around different ways to fit a handle when the mounting surface above it wasn't flat, and there was no room beneath the trigger mech to recess the top of a typical screw mount handle. So the forward tenon (for the trigger guard) has to reach further forward to get in front of the trigger mech.


    I may re-work the grip a little. I would like the contact point at the back to be a little higher, but I found that it feels most natural for me if the contact (between the thumb and forefinger) is directly behind the center of the trigger. With my normal dive gloves, this is a very comfortable grip.

    The handle is done, and mounted now. The aluminum tenons of the frame are a very tight fit in the stock, but I added a small 1/8" stainless pin in each just to be sure. Funny how the shapelock looks pure black in room lighting, but shows some swirls in the camera flash.

    Quote from fuzz

    I have some CF tube scraps, but don't think any are standard railgun diameters. Does that matter for your tests?


    Any size will do Fuzz. I just want to see if I can machine a sample piece of the G10 into the right shape, and test how well it can be epoxied to a CF tube.

    I have some scraps of the G10 material that I can use to experiment with. Does anyone have some short scraps of carbon fiber tube that they would donate to the cause of scientific advancement?


    I'm not looking to build a working gun. Just some 6-8" pieces to see if the process would work. Either standard CF tube, or actual barrel sections.
